Breastfeeding is a popular topic on Eco Child’s Play, and this week is World Breastfeeding Week (WBW) 2008.  World Breastfeeding Week is celebrated in over 120 countries around the world, and this year the Olympics are providing inspiration for families “Going for the Gold”.  According to the La Leche League, the gold standard of breastfeeding is:  “breastfeeding exclusively for six months, and providing appropriate complementary foods with continued breastfeeding for up to two years or beyond.” The focus of this year’s WBW is supporting mothers, which we will do by sharing our stories and discussing breastfeeding on our forum, as well as having a Mother’s Milk giveaway!
